Local author and historian Niki Kourofsky exposes the North Country’s shadowy past of crime and dark deeds. Her wry, lively storytelling puts readers right in the thick of shootouts, jewel heists, bank robberies, manhunts, and unsolved murders. Spanning eight decades of Adirondack history and ranging from Glens Falls to the Canadian border, Adirondack Outlaws is a rollicking page-turner, rich in chilling details and amply illustrated with historical photographs.
Niki Kourofsky holds a bachelor’s degree in history, with a concentration in museum studies, and a master’s degree in writing and editing. Her Adirondack roots run generations deep, grounded in the ore sand of the one-time mining community of Lyon Mountain. She is a senior editor at Adirondack Life, a regional magazine exploring the people, places, and storied history of New York’s six-million-acre Adirondack Park.
